Has there been recent research on this? It'd be interesting to see if seeing the person's face matters, or how far they are, or what traits the more gifted have other than a talent for music.
Seeing faces doesn't matter, there are other ways to create an association to get on target. Distance doesn't matter. Some people are more naturally talented. But since it's relatively unknown there are probably lots of very talented people out there who have no idea they have talent.
You can check out the Applied precognition project. this group brings together many of the well-known and prominent researchers and I suppose former government practitioners. and also permits I think members of public to get involved in regular taskings.
